Given that so many influencers these days are being paid in various ways, let me be clear. AAC and I don’t get a penny if you buy a Wakespeed or a Zeus. Zip, nada, zilch. I work for our members. They are the only bosses I have.
That said, and for the sake of total disclosure, Wakespeed have given me two regulators for evaluation (soon to be three), but if you think I can be bought that cheap, you are mistaken.
The value of three regulators is trivial compared to the total that over 5000 members pay us each year. I know who butters my bread…and supplies the loaf.
Before we dig into which smart alternator regulator to buy, a note on my background:
This is not a quick review by some yachtie with a little technical experience. I founded and ran a tech company (computer-systems integrator) where our success was continually dependant on my ability to pick good high-tech products.
And, yes, I made mistakes…which taught me a lot, and which I have applied to evaluating these two products.
So even if you’re not interested in buying an alternator regulator, it’s worth your time to scan through this article and then read the conclusions, since it’s a graphic demonstration of how to cut through slick marketing, much of it fuelled by payments to influencers, to get to the right selection.
And lest you think that my background gives me all the answers, I learned a personal lesson while installing the Wakespeed—heeding it could save you a lot of aggravation.
